The situation is much worse than we first thought (and we thought it was pretty bad). Britain’s new Prime Minister is rapidly earning the moniker ‘Neville’.

According to the Daily Express:

Gordon Brown has banned ministers from using the word ‘Muslim’ in connection with the terrorism crisis.

The Prime Minister has also instructed his team, including new Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, that the phrase ‘war on terror’ is not to be used by any public official.

The shake-up is part of a fresh attempt to improve community relations and avoid offending Muslims, adopting a more ‘consensual’ tone than existed under Tony Blair.

What consensus can one reach with a crocodile? Since the croc does not understand the concept, the consenting will be one-sided. It gets worse.

Officials insist that no direct links with Muslim extremists have been publicly confirmed by police investigating the latest attempted terror attacks. Mr Brown himself did not refer to Muslims or Islam once in a BBC TV interview on Sunday. Ms Smith also avoided any such reference in her statement to MPs yesterday.

She said: “Let us be clear, terrorists are criminals, whose victims come from all walks of life, communities and religions. Terrorists attack the values shared by all law-abiding citizens. As a Government, as communities, as individuals, we need to ensure that the message of the terrorists is rejected.”

This has got to be the most convoluted reasoning we have ever heard. She seems to be saying that because terrorists kill Jews, Christians, Hindus, and Muslims, there is some sort of parity amongst the victims.

Of course, the killers are all Muslim. So what is her point? Because they kill people of many religions we may not mention theirs? Why?

A tenacious Islamist enemy is out there plotting our destruction and Ms Smith is actively undermining our ability to fight back. Of the many empty minds running the once great Britain, this one is special.
